Do you have the correct programs? Such as WindowBlinds, IconPackager, or DesktopX? You also need Theme Manager for "suites". You can download some of them by going to the "Software" section Link Some are free to try out, and some cost money. I hope this helps.
Removing registry entries is not necessarily a requirement. You can just deselect any options selected to "Load at start-up or similar" in customizing software, return Windows to the default theme including any icons, unload all programs. Then do the uninstall, reboot, then delete any leftover WB subdirectories in Program Files. Reinstall, reboot, load WB and apply a skin, then go to the per applications and select the exclus
Deselect any "Load at startup" options in any customization software, unload all programs and return to default windows theme including all icons (use to "Display Properties>Themes tab" and select Windows XP, click "Apply" to return to default theme). Try uninstalling, reboot machine, and delete any WindowBlinds folder left in "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop" folder (where "C" is the letter drive). Then reinstall WindowBlind
Are you using the free version? I believe the free version does this.
TDEJenkins, Have you tried the "Install skin from web" option at the upper right side of the WB Configure panel? Also, which skins are you having problems with? I would be glad to test the downloads to my machine if you like.
ckrazy1, If you are ending up with a ".zip" file, check out Koasati's opening in this thread Link
Chiefstah, You will need SkinStudio Link , and a graphic creating program such as Photoshop, CorelDRAW, Paint Shop Pro, or another. ratherbedeadthancool, You will need the correct program to apply the themes (i.e., WindowBlinds, IconPackager, DesktopX, ObjectDock) and for suites you will also need Theme Manager.

leenewman, Save your theme (Config ObjectDock>General tab>Save theme as) then do the following: Create a temporary folder in say "My Documents" Create folders inside this temporary folder for any of the following that you need - Themes, Backgrounds, Images, and Docklets. Copy any files from the relevant folders in the "C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock" folder that you want to keep - (especially the theme you save
Could be, Testing it with "explorer.exe" should be fairly definitive. Good luck.
Hmm, Okay, let's see if this will work (I apologize if you have already tried this one): Start Icon Packager, Select the Icons & Cursors category at left of configuration panel - this should give you a list of images in the list at center. Click the "Folders" button on top to see if the default windows folder shows up in the list (it may or may not since there is an issue). If it does, highlight it and click the "Change" butt
morwyn, The Help & Support path in XP Pro is "C:\WINDOWS\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Binaries\helpctr.exe" (where "C" is the letter drive). Whether you have Home or Pro, it is probably the same. If I find the others, will post here again.
Try copying your bootskin files (".bootskin") to a "temporary" folder that you create in say "My Documents", start Bootskin and set to the default boot screen, unload all programs, then return Windows to the default theme including icons. Now uninstall the Bootskin program, restart computer. Open "My Documents" and go to "Tools>Folder Options>View tab" and select "Show hidden files and folders", then click "Apply". Now go to "C:\Docu
marktheX, Can I assume you are talking about skinning the default XP logon screen when you start your computer? If so, you will need LogonStudio, which you can download for free here Link At the beginning of this thread, Koasati has given instruction on making sure the file extension of downloads are correct along with a list of the correct file extensi
Thanks, Teach.
BNUFaNtAsMa, Start Icon Packager, then verify that the "Folders" option is selected in the "Include" list on the right side of configuration panel, if not selected - select it and reapply the package. If it is already selected, I would start by trying the following in the Icon Packager configuration panel: Go to "Tools" menu, and select "Repair Icon Images", click "Yes" to have Icon Packager repair images, then click "OK" - s
Yeah, there seems to be a few people seeing something like this. I am not sure if it will help, but here is another thread involving MCP issues. Link Good luck, and hopefully Stardock is aware of the issue and will correct ASAP.
Is MCP enabled in Stardock Central (Tools>Settings)?
Please list your OS, IconPackager version, and icon package(s) in question.
Yeah, through that in just in case, DZ. Here is the only thing I found that resembled your issue, Koasati. Link I have to sleep, it's an early start for work tomorrow. Will check on your progress tomorrow. Good luck
Even though that machine is a bit old, I would agree that you should be able to install XP. Suggestions: If the old drive was working fine, I would reinstall everything to bring computer back to where it originally was, then boot up on that drive to verify it works and your cables are still communicating with the MoBo. If all is well, run the Upgrade Advisor from the XP disc and see if you have any driver or hardware issues y
Have not been able to find it yet, myself. Where did you find the screenshot?
